3.1 MANDATE FROM THE COLLEGE
The college recognizes the Office of Student Affairs as a service arm of the
institution that is responsive to all facets of student development, the discovery
and recognition of student’s essential dignity and worth and the actualization and
acknowledgement of their abilities with the support and coordination of the
alumni and the community. (Student Handbook, p. 9)
3.2 NATURE OF OSA AS AN ADMINISTRATION-INITIATED OFFICE
The Office of Student Affairs is headed by a Director of Student Affairs,
designated by the President of the college and confirmed by the Board of
Trustees. Its management responsibility areas cover all designated or appointed
faculty carrying out functions of units under the Office of Student Affairs
(OSA).The office is directed to:
o provide wholesome activities that give vent to the student talents,

abilities and leadership potentials.
o promote wholesome relationship among students and protect their
general welfare and interest as well.
Under the Office of Student Affairs are the Student Organization Unit, the
Scholarship and Financial Assistance Unit, the Guidance and Counseling Unit, the
Testing and Promotion Unit and the Graduate Placement and Employment Unit
(GPEU). Hence, the Office of Student Affairs is considered as an administration-
initiated office rather than a student organization.
The office’s operations are funded by the college to provide necessary
equipment and materials for the development of the students. Even if the
individual student organizational groups operate on their own, they are still under
the mandate of the office to ensure that the objectives and programs of the
organizations are aligned with the colleges’ goals. The student organizations are
given the privilege to operate independently as the office recognizes the
individuality of the groups, and the value of enhancing the administration skills of
the leaders and members to ensure that they are well-equipped after graduation.
